update on the waterfalls replica project

Let me give you my videos of the waterfalls replica at the Nijaga Park. I took it a few days ago when the workers checked the pumps and other parts of the said project which is set to be inaugurated on Valentines' Day

This is related to an earlier blogpost (please check this link). And in a way, ini nga blogpost dedicated sadto nga mga tawo nga magyakbot ug magyubit. Dire pa ngani tapos an proyekto, sige na an yaw-yaw mahitungod san "waterfalls project" sa Nijaga Park.


Neway,I have featured a picture which I got courtesy of Mr. Joel Madadong. I think he took this picture days ago when they tested the water pump at the soon-to-be-finished project. The said project will be officially inaugurated on February 14, 2012.

Waterfalls in the Park

Construction is currently ongoing at the Nijaga Park (it's the portion near the Rosales bridge). They are coming up with a replica of Bangon and another waterfalls. I suppose this has to do with Calbayog's tagline being the City of Waterfalls. But then their is Iligan which called itself the City of Majestic Waterfalls. So, maybe we can meet halfway about it. Anyway, here are some pictures of the ongoing project, so as to update you of what's going on at the plaza. I'll feature photos as soon as the project is completed.
